Brew Better Coffee & Tea Decisions

Introduce new tea drinkers to a variety of flavors and brewing methods in a relaxed setting, considering teaware to enhance their experience.

Enjoy a warm, comforting oat milk drink without caffeine using simple sweeteners and pantry staples.

Wet-hulled coffees can exhibit earthy, herbaceous, and sometimes spicy notes due to the drying process of the parchment layer.

Brewing methods, bean types, and additives can influence the bioavailability of beneficial compounds in coffee and tea.

Repurpose used coffee grounds and tea leaves beyond composting for vibrant gardens and innovative home applications.

Engage your senses with tactile, creative, or mindful activities to gently redirect post-coffee energy away from digital screens.

Opt for locally sourced beans/leaves, choose shade-grown, and explore upcycled by-products to minimize coffee and tea's environmental impact.

Specific teas, rich in antioxidants like catechins, can support skin health and contribute to a natural glow when consumed or applied topically.

Over-extracted coffee often smells acrid, burnt, or even like stale popcorn, signaling an imbalance of desirable aromatic compounds.

Timing and careful selection of your caffeinated beverages can support sleep hygiene while still allowing for your daily cup.

Certain teas, like chamomile and green tea, may offer calming benefits due to compounds that interact with the nervous system.

Soluble sugars, like those found in pu-erh tea, can effectively balance bitterness without overwhelming the tea's inherent character.
